With Donald Trump as the President?
Is it only liberals that feel this way?
Are they really optimistic and happy about the future?
Do none of them have that sick nagging feeling in their gut that something just isn't right?
Could they stand in the middle of a railroad track and not see the train that is coming straight toward them?

(3,040 posts)Only feel anxiety and uncertainty because of blacks, Mexicans, terrorists and liberals. They think that Trump will ease their irrational fear of the above others.
Sadly, he will only stoke their fears.

(82,849 posts)I'm doing what I can to point out to Trump voters the yawning chasm between what he said during the campaign and what he's doing now. And I'll keep asking them if whatever Trump's latest clueless pronouncement is what they voted for.
I don't expect a lot of integrity or honesty out of Trump voters, but it's possible that they might start talking amongst themselves about what a bunch of suckers they are.

And to be perfectly honest, at this juncture I wouldn't piss on any of them if they were on fire!!!

(12,582 posts)The end-timers believe they don't need to take responsibility for their actions because it's all about them and their personal relation with the voices in their head.
When they die, their world dies. No problem at all...

(403 posts)I've heard three times now, once from a story here, once from an interview, and once from a health forum I belong to, Trump voters say that they didn't think Obamacare could be repealed because it was a law.
They don't know how government works, and while they say they are struggling, seem to think that some things they do have are in a protected bubble ... like the ACA, Social Security, and Medicare. They don't know how screwed their future is, and won't until it's right on top of them. I almost feel sorry for them, but no.

(1,148 posts)...in a workplace of mostly HRC voters. I think he feels defensive and lies to himself a lot. Probably suffers from cognitive dissonance. I sense he is not very happy. Seems kind of delusional that "Daddy" will make everything better. Since the election, I feel disturbed being around him, he seems strangely unhappy but he won't express regret over his vote.
